My heart is full. Peter is made of sterner stuff than I thought. I'm embarrassed to say that I read most of this with bated breath, hoping against hope that he wouldn't do anything to hurt Daniel.
Because Daniel's the sort of guy you don't get a third shot at.
Alas. I needn't have worried.
“No. It’s about me. If Daniel left me tomorrow, I still wouldn’t come back to you. We’re over, Adam."
Is it wicked of me to confess that my heart sang with joy at the sheer number of times Peter said," I don't love you." to Adam?
The petty part of me took great joy in that.
But the greater joy?
Watching Peter grow from being the guy that made wrong choices, knowing they were wrong, making them even though they hurt him terribly, to being the guy that knows when he's making the right ones, again and again, and again.
Watching him be loved openly, unreservedly, the way he always deserved.
Watching him go from being unable to say no to being the one who can always say no, this doesn't serve me so I'm not doing it anymore.
Watching him become a man who takes responsibility for his actions and makes amends, and try every day to hold space for Daniel to feel his feelings regardless?
Yeah. Loved the shit out of this. These two are perfect together.
I swear, if I hadn't read these three books myself, I'd never buy that he's 19. The level of maturity he attained in that one year? Astonishing.
And yes, this book had AIDS, but not in the way I'd feared.
Definitely one of my best reads this year. Doing the work to untraumatize me from previous bad experiences of reading more than one book centered around the same couple.
Sidenote. I'm okay with Adam being a dick. I know he's only 19, too, and thus there's room for him to become a better person yadda yadda but idc about that and can't be arsed so I'll not be reading his redemption story.
My condolences to the poor shmuck who ends up with him but that is none of my concern ♥️...more
I don't know if I really, really like Daniel, or I just REALLY, REALLY hate Adam. Either way, I was rooting for Peter to cheat the ENTIRE time.
So manyI don't know if I really, really like Daniel, or I just REALLY, REALLY hate Adam. Either way, I was rooting for Peter to cheat the ENTIRE time.
So many wins in this one.
90% less Adam. And many of the times he shows up, he's getting his ass handed to him. Have I told y'all recently about the goodness of God?
I swear, I hate that guy so much, he has me revisiting religion.
Peter's all over the place in this one. Still a Dumb Fuck™ about Adam, but a dumb fuck that's questioning.
Daniel is......everything. Still a green flag, makes a few (welcome) mistakes but knows when to draw the line.
And the ending???? God. I used to pray for times like these.
I really hope book 3 is what I'm hoping it is and not a(nother) lesson in why I should quit while I'm ahead with HFN couples.
They're not a couple couple, but the way it ends in this is hopeful. And I will throw my phone at a wall if this results in some AIDS thing from THAT time. Like, I will actually cry while sliding slowly down against a wall.

Ugh! The cuteness! Have you ever wondered what your favorite couple's everyday life would be like, beyond the epilogue? This book answers that for FinUgh! The cuteness! Have you ever wondered what your favorite couple's everyday life would be like, beyond the epilogue? This book answers that for Finn and Marcus.
There's this time Finn handed Marcus a marshmallow. Marcus eats it and comments that it's as disgusting as every other time he's eaten them. Finn asks, well then why did you eat it? Marcus: Because you looked really cute handing it to me.
My heart pooped itself multiple times at their interactions...more
